Description
NO MODS!

As Void Corp expanded its planetary operations, it found a need for mobile logistics and military support that could transcend the various obstacles ground vehicles face (i.e. canyons, mountains, rivers, etc.). Thus the VC Sky Fortress was born. A joint project between Void Corp Security and Void Corp’s commercial division, the Sky Fortress is something of an oddity in a company where elements from the commercial and security divisions rarely work together. Because of the various needs of the project, however, they teamed up to create a vessel capable of acting as a mobile, floating aircraft carrier, weapons platform (to some extent), and a mobile processing and refining center.

Specifications:
•Mass: 4,175,341 kg (only laden with fuel and ammunition) - Able to carry about 17 million kg in addition to its own weight
•Power: 2 Large reactors and 9 batteries
•Thrust: 13.5 MN Forward, 4.5 MN Port/Starboard, 9 MN Retro, 72 MN Up, and 0 N Down (gravity provides all needed downward thrust)
•Maneuvering: 5 gyroscopes; 835,068 kg/gyro ratio (it isn’t nimble, nor is it meant to be)
•Weapons: 6 Missile Turrets, 10 Gatling Turrets, 3 Interior Turrets
•Cargo Capacity: 7 Large Cargo Containers and 1 Small

Systems:
•Refineries: 2
•Arc Furnaces: 2
•Assemblers: 2
•Oxygen Generators: 2
•Oxygen Tanks: 2
•Hydrogen Tanks: 1
•Cryo Pods: 5
•Medical Bays: 1
•LCD Displays with “Configurable LCD Script” (from MMaster) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=403921671
•Control Seats: 1 (Battle Bridge)
•Flight Seats: 1 (Flight Bridge)
•Airlocks: 2 (fully automated)

Max altitude: ~6,000 M (Earth Atmosphere)
Max operational altitude: ~3,500 M (Earth Atmosphere)

***Note*** Air vents do not currently remember programming through blueprints. In order to make the automated airlock function you only need to add airlock timer 4 (trigger now) to the first box and airlock timer 2 (trigger now) to the second box of the airlock air vent. Just pay attention to which airlock you are programming and which timers you are using (i.e. upper or lower)

love this design ive used it as a base for several of my ships including heavy artillery, mobile refueling station/ maintence, also as a research facility. Its a wonderful starting platform for all sorts of things. funnily enough ive never used it like an aircraft carrier always repurpose it

interesting design i like it

the only problem i found with it is the lack of defense on the bottom. gunships can get under the ship and blow out the engiens. the ship it self is too slow and cant turn quickly enough to get away from them. but it is a very cool looking vessel, and super effective if your not at war with somone

Due to some unfortunate bugs I've crashed this TWICE... and it survived to be repaired back to full. Each time despite losing several thrusters it was able to maintain a stable hover, testifying to the durability and redundancy of the design.

good work, but seriously this is the only flying atmospheric base i can find!

Its going to be my Mars boss battle ship if you're ok with it :D

Hi GopeScope,

Awesome design.

Do you mind if significantly modify the framework with mods and other changes to fit a lengthy Survival scenario I'm making?

It'll have the same colours and very similar exterior minus some alterartions and some additions plus it'll have mods (shields/self repair/weapons).

I will link back here as the original blueprint framework for credit.

Cheers,
Stollie

this things appearance reminds me of the Monarch Dreadnought of the game Dreadnought, a colossal behemoth in its own right
